Crout is a member of one of the Sutter Sleep Disorders Centers which monitors and tests people's ability to sleep during the night and naps as well.

According to Crout, it's not detrimental or even bad if someone doesn't take naps, but it can mess up your schedule if you treat a nap as night time sleep.

"We set them up to take naps," he said. "The main thing is that nap doesn't turn into sleep. There's a cycle that your body goes through, a sleep wake cycle, it can get disturbed [and] it might prolong you if you go to sleep during the day."

When asked about the comparisons for adults napping versus children, he stated that there are some similarities and differences.

"It's relatively the same, but the standards are a bit higher for kids versus adults," he said.

Whether you're a devoted napper or you completely avoid them at all costs, it's an option that does have its benefits.
